Winter Maiden Festival: December 20 – January 16

Good Tidings To You, Adventurer!

Don your cold weather wear, for the Winter Maiden has come! Starting with regional maintenance on December 20, you’ll be able to earn yourself more than a few holiday treats through a variety of limited time events!

The celebration of the Winter Maiden has come around again, and the hosts of the festival will be Marianople and Solis Headlands. The event is in Austera, but all of Solis Headlands will be placed under Festival Law, which means that you will be unable to engage in PvP in those zones during the festival. Of course, the right of Guild Dominion trumps the Festival’s peace, so be on your guard! If you’re in a Dominion battle, you can still be attacked.

During the event, visit the Winter Maiden’s Messenger in your capital city to begin your path on the festival quests! The events involve fending off icy intruders, spreading merry tidings, building snowmen, and completing the Nutcracker!

This year’s prizes include special snowman statues that may drop from the Winter’s Ghost, the Grumpytree Ent non-combat pet, and special prizes available from the Festival Exchanger. Remember: If you can’t get the rewards during the event, they will be available later at the permanent Festival Exchange Machine in Mirage Isle!
